Another day, another local small business automatically "opting" me into their marketing mailing list using an email address provided only for specific purposes.

FFS. This time it was the veterinarian. This ain't allowed in Canada.

Why they aren't #OptIn, btw?

Thanks. Apparently there is a way to do this in #Vivaldi for "distributions" but not for end users. Maybe?

If it were there I think it would be easy. So I assume it's not. My solution is to just link to #noai and stop using the url/location bar for searches. 🙂

I hate #AI in searches, I have to recheck EVERYTHING that I don't already know about. That's almost like an anti-search engine. It gives you questions and you hunt for the answers. No thanks!

For something like federated Community Notes an #OptIn is probably needed, with a set of governing rules that must be followed to qualify.

Is there a no-AI audience?

Das gilt auch für Apps, die z. B. mit MS SDK erstellt wurden - auch dort telefoniert der implementiere Dienst ungeachtet der DS-GVO nachhause. Aber auch Cloud-Ressourcen, wie Cloudfire, AWS, Google tun das, gehöre es vermeintlich zur s. g. Bereitstellungsdienstwn der App und sei für die Funktion unabdingbar.

Firefox ajoute un bouton pour désactiver toute l'IA - On peut se détendre... ^^

#chatControl I hear the word "Voluntary" I think of #optin ( as in every user could say "fuck you" and keep their #privacy ) but you mean companies would have to choose if they want to scan or not scan? Oh come on. Those companies always wanted to scan. Now the #Epstein friends ( who run these companies ) will get new porn to watch, because they would get access to your #kids ''s private chats.
